Just a quick blog message: from tomorrow I probably won't be near a computer for about two weeks. The past week there wasn't much time either, so now I have to show what I made recently (one of the things, at least)

I went to the LYS to buy wool for another shawl: the latest KAL by Monika Eckert at her klabauter yahoo group. It was going to be the Windsbraut Pirat. In the shop Zitron's Filigran Lace wool is sold and with the wool buyers get another pattern of Moni's free: the Windbraut Padua. In the shop they told me they'd like to have a knit Pdua to show people, but the knitter who had started trying to make it, didn't understand the pattern. I offered to knit this first for them then. And here it is: blocking.

The puzzleblocks are still very visible through the knitting, but the shape of the shawl is visible: it isn't a real triangle, but the top is rounded, so that the shawl will stay on the shoulders better.

I've already started knitting the next project: Monika felt a little bored and designed the Windsbraut Magelaes, named after the explorer and therefore filled with novelties in the design. The stitches are added like in the round pi-shawls, of which I've made a few, but this one will still be (more or less) triangular, I expect.

Two more knits I cast on this past week, in all the hectic: a bolero (?) of Noro (pattern and wool) and a jacket of handspun black alpaca (yes indeed, made of the alpaca mountain, which is changing in an alpaca yarn mouintain now) Soon you'll no doubt hear more about it here, but for now I'll be gone for a while. Till later!
